Description

This is a Authentic made in the USA Easy Wood Tools Ci0 round carbide cutter designed to fit the Full and Pro size Finishers. Beware of cheap imitations of Easy Wood Tools carbide cutters. Authentic EWT cutters have the optimal 3G's of Carbide - Grade, Grind, and Geometry.1) The Right Grade: Carbide is basically a mixture of tungsten powder and cobalt that is fused together under high pressure and heat. The ratio of cobalt to tungsten and the size of the tungsten particle are referred to collectively as the 'grade'. There are literally hundreds of thousands of conceivable grades and no 'one grade' of carbide is suited for all applications - whether wood cutting or metal cutting. The perfect combination of cobalt and grain size in EWT Carbide cutters yields a cutting edge that is both the keenest and the most durable grade for woodturning available today. 2) The Right Grind: EWT grinds all of their cutters on super rigid CNC grinders to prevent micro chipping of the cutting edges. EWT uses the proper grit diamond wheels to produce the flattest, truest surfaces possible with minimal grinding scratches left on the surface. All the cutter surfaces are ground in the optimum sequence to bring the edge into keenness during the very last process, or once again micro chipping of the cutting edges will occur if the proper sequence is not followed. 3) The Right Geometry: EWT grinds all their cutters to the correct angles and geometries specifically for woodturning. This produces an edge that cuts both cleanly and safely for all skill levels. Only when grade, grind, and geometry are in harmony will you have a cutting edge for high performance woodturning. Comes with replacement 8-32 countersink machine screw.

Description

The Easy Wood Tools Full Size Easy Rougher is a replaceable carbide insert woodturning lathe tool that addresses fatigue, safety, and efficiency like no other type of tool on the market. Designed to be kept flat on the tool rest, level to the floor and pushed straight into your work, the Easy Rougher will effortlessly hog away massive amounts of wood. No intimidating cutting angles to learn and remember-cuts left, right and straight in without changing approach angle. This simple approach to turning allows you to learn and master wood turning in no time. The tool design provides support directly beneath the cutting edge transferring the cutting pressure downward allowing the lathe to "take the pounding" that you would normally suffer through when using a conventional bowl gouge for roughing. Requires very little physical strength or exertion, so no more 'white knuckling' a bowl gouge. Truly deeper cuts - up to 1 inch off the diameter in one pass with the Full Size Rougher. Maximum reach from tool rest is 4 inches. Super hard Maple handle is 16 inches long with easy grip handle. Solid CNC machined stainless steel tool bar is 8.5 inches long and 1/2 inch square. Overall tool length is 24.5 inches The Full Size Rougher accepts 3 different proprietary carbide cutters: Ci1-R2 (2 inch radius) , Ci1-R4 (4 inch radius) , or the Ci1-SQ (no radius). These carbide cutters have four sharp sides and are easily rotated to expose new sharp edges. You will never need to sharpen again! Cutters are specially designed with the optimal grind, geometry and grade of carbide to excel at woodturning. The rougher comes with a Ci1-R4 square carbide cutter installed and a hex wrench. The Easy Rougher is capable of plunge cuts similar to using a giant parting tool. This type of cut sends massive amounts of material straight back at the operator. Available Chip Deflector keeps most shavings away from the face and neck. Deflector shields must be purchased separately.

The Simple Shear Cutting FinisherTM provides the very best surface finish possible with a carbide tipped wood turning tool.

Description

Simple Shear Cutting FinisherTM Carbide Tipped Lathe Tool. Turning wood with the Simple Shear Cutting FinisherTM that's offered here is as simple as these 4 steps. 1. Position the tool rest as close to the work as possible so the carbide cutter is at the lathe center line. 2. Place the tool on the tool rest with the tool shaft parallel with the floor. 3. Rotate the tool handle about its axis (similar to twisting a motorcycle throttle) approximately 35 in the direction you will be cutting. 4. While securely holding the tool slowly plunge the carbide cutter into the work. As you begin to move the tool across the turning and your project takes shape, you will quickly discover how well these carbide tools cut and how simple it is to make beautiful turnings. The Simple Shear Cutting FinisherTM provides the very best surface finish possible with a carbide tipped wood turning tool. The reason for this is the saucer shaped carbide cutter. The round tool shaft allows the tool to be rotated about its axis so the cutter is presented to the work at an angle. This creates a shearing cut much like a conventional bowl or spindle gouge and leaves a superior surface finish compared to other wood turning tools that are held flat and make scraping cuts. Although this is a great benefit on all types of wood it is especially important when cutting soft wood such as spalted Maple. Flat topped carbide cutters can leave tear out when used on really soft wood. However, the saucer shaped carbide cutter used on the Simple Shear Cutting FinisherTM cleanly slices the soft fibers off the vessel due to the shear cutting action, similar to conventional bowl and spindle gouges. The result is a far superior surface finish. Simple Shear Cutting FinisherTM technical details:Carbide cutter: " diameter - saucer shaped shear cutting. Wrench is included to adjust cutter. Overall tool length: 24 inches. Tool Shaft - Solid steel 5/8" diameter nickel plated. Handle: rubber golf grip.
